I was on my way home from work and this pewter C5 silver corvette 'vert had the initial thought of pulling out to the left lane b/f the light, but decided to get in behind me (must have heard my exhaust...). we get on the on-ramp (a nice banked curve) for a 3 lane interstate. i'm still in 3rd gear (~45-50mph) and when i find an opening, i gunned it with the corvette close behind (he made a move as if he was going to pass...). we both head to the fast lane, and i stop his gain on me and gained on him. i shut down at 90-100 because of upcoming traffic.
i slow down and move over to let him pass and give him a thumbs up. i'm grinning from ear-to-ear, and he has a sheepish grin and acknowledges the thumbs up.
I'm not sure if he was manual or auto, and whether or not it was an '99/'00 (345hp) or '01+ (350hp). i was pleased with my car's performance since i hadn't had much fun since running with an '03-'04 cobra in SC back in june. before the BS flags come up, i know i beat at least the driver if not the car.
my mods: AA LTW flywheel, Stage 2 clutch; SSK; Dinan exhaust, throttle body, chip, and ....
o yeah Vortech S/C :redspot
